Summary:                    [patch] asterisk 1.6.2.0-beta4 crash when including
nonexistent file from /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
Description: 
If /etc/asterisk/manager.conf #includes a file that does not exist,
asterisk will crash instead of continuing gracefully or logging the issue
and exiting.

To reproduce:

Compile and install asterisk-1.6.2.0-beta4
Edit /etc/asterisk/manager.conf to #include any filename that does not
exist.
(Re)start asterisk.

Expected result:
asterisk should either log the issue and continue, or exit gracefully with
the logged issue.

Actual result:
SIGSEGV

When run from valgrind, the following is reported right before the crash:


==17755== 
==17755== Invalid read of size 8
==17755==    at 0x456319: ast_variable_browse (config.c:400)

==17755==  Address 0x16 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd

When run under gdb, asterisk shows this:
